FAC ME 'TIL I FART
Recently I had a brief exchange on Twitter with KekW about boring music biopics. He came up with the excellent suggestion of casting Jude Law as Damon Albarn in a fucking tedious Blur biopic. Can you imagine how sleep inducing that would be?
Anyway, my thoughts went off at a tangent (as is usual for ninety per cent of the day). I began to think about the film Twenty Four Hour People - the story of Factory Records. Apparently, it is based on *legend* as much as fact.
Given that I've mentioned one or two of the characters before in posts, I thought that I might as well expand on my suggestions and offer up a list of the actors who would have made the film far more entertaining ...
DANIEL CORBETT THE WEATHERMAN as IAN CURTIS
JEREMY IRONS as BERNARD SUMNERIAN BOTHAM* as PETER HOOK
JANE McDONALD as GILLIAN GILBERT
JUNE BROWN as STEPHEN MORRIS
PETER VAUGHAN as SEAN RYDER
NICHOLAS LYNDHURST as BEZ
HARRY HILL as HOWARD DEVOTO
AGYNESS DEYN as VINI REILLY
The all night party goes on
A GROUP OF BOY SCOUTS* as A CERTAIN RATIO
HAYLEY FROM CORONATION STREET as ANTHONY HAITCH WILSON'S LONG SUFFERING FIRST WIFE
ALAN PARTRIDGE as ANTHONY HAITCH WILSON (oh ... hold on ... ha ha ...)
If anyone can think of a suitable actor to play the part of Joy Division/New Order manager Rob Gretton, I will send them a free sachet of Linco Beer shampoo.
Extra creamy ... extra dreamy ... mmmmmmMMMMMMMmmmm ...
